The cancellation of SASSA grant cash payments and the SA Post Office collapse opens the door for private service providers.
The SA Post Office rescue plan has projected 6000 job losses and 420 branch closures and the severe crisis sparked outrage from the DA.
The closure of the Post Office in Paterson has left hundreds of social grant beneficiaries and workers stranded for over a year.
The SA Post Office suffered repeated annual losses, while six thousand jobs are also on the line due to retrenchments.
According to a report by amaBhungane, the SASSA grant system was likely hacked by Postbank employees who stole R89 459 330 in cash.
SASSA announced that from April 2022, social grants will now be paid earlier, but does this also apply to the R350 SRD grant?
